TCs were useful tools back when resolution was low (sub 10mp dslrs, and/or high speed 35mm film). In this day and age you're better off just cropping, you'll get comparable if not better IQ and you aren't losing any lens speed.
In general I agree, but you put more pixels on your subject. I just happened to be hanging out with a Baby Owl that wasn't doing much, so I decided to do a little test. I shot the same scene at F4 no TC and did 100% crop, Then threw on the 1.4x and 2x TC cropped it to the same size then reduced the with to the size on the 300mm shot. I think I get more detail with the 2x and more resolution to print larger..
I found it interesting.. Quite a fuzzy little critter.. if you want to download it.. owl NO TC 1558_1321-vert
